Chapter 8: Across the Universe

They were out of the support beam were officially inside Solara but none of them prepared themselves for this.

"Oh my God" Kari said. "You guys have to see this, it is amazing." She was looking out of a small window.

All of them ran to the Observation Deck of the ship to see what was going on.

"I present to you Solara." Kari said.

The Observation deck windows opened and the sight was so extraordinary and so phenomenal that they were virtually speechless. They saw waves of Teal, Purple, Gold, Pink and White dancing around a sea of Royal Blue, yet the waves changed colors which made the sight even more magnificent.

"Wow it… is just wow." Yolei said she was as speechless as everyone else was.

"Hey what do you think those are?" Davis asked when he was ponting at orbs of light that were emitting a rainbow like coma that was prancing around the ship.

"I don't know but it's beautiful." Kari replied.

"There's the Digiworld." T.K said pointing at the enormous dark like figure.

"This must mean that the Earth must be on the other side of the ship." Cody replied.

For a brief while they were on the observation deck then they retreated after that they went inside the recreation area to talk.

"Wow that was really something." Yolei said.

"Yeah it really was." Kari replied.

"Hey guys what did you think of the dream?" Cody asked.

It was an unexpected question coming from Cody, it was an unexpected question for all of them.

"Well since you guys can't think of anything then I would like to start." Cody began. "This dream made me think about many things for one it made me think about my dad. I could have sworn I saw him but I know he couldn't have been him even in a dream, since you know that my dad's death anniversary was today."

"Yeah, I remember." T.K said.

"Well anyway the reason I came here is to hopefully get the answer if why my father risked his life to save another, but not just any other a person that he doesn't know."

Everyone knew that this was something Cody did not like to discuss about but he knew that he had to get it off his back eventually.

"So I can see everyone here has a reason to come here." Davis replied.

"The reason why I came here is because of my family." T.K began. "When I saw my mom fall to her death in that dream that was by far the worst feeling that I have ever felt and it was the same way for Matt. I felt so helpless you know, knowing that you couldn't help your mom even when she was falling to her death."

T.K began to tear and since Kari was there next to him she began to comfort him.

"W-When I-I heard that this dream was going to become a reality, the first thing that popped in my head was the image of my mother and immediately I knew that I had to be a part of this mission, I know that my life is on the line but I know that I had to do this to protect my family."

T.K then slowly regained his composure and then he remained calm. "Man I haven't felt like this since I thought I lost Angemon when both him and Devimon were gone."

Yolei then began to walk around the table in which they were sitting around.

"The reason why I came here was because of my friends, I mean it is kinda hard to explain but ever since that dream I realized that nothing is forever." Yolei replied. "Davis and I haven't been that close from the day we first met till not that recently. When I saw Davis across that street and saw that the world is falling apart my first instinct was to just grab him and run away."

" When I woke up I felt such guilt and such sorrow that I didn't know what it was until I realized that I never got so close to many of my friends, like Davis I mean before we use to always argue but after that dream I realized that I got be close to all my friends. I know Davis feels the same way."

Davis nodded his head in agreement "Yeah I understand where Yolei, is coming from." Davis began." After all this is what we were talking about before we left Earth, the closest thing that we both did is that when I came to Tai's place with her on her Vespa, but you know it is something to consider, Yolei is great person and I am glad to be her friend."

Yolei looked at Davis with eyes of happiness and just rushed to hug him. "You are a true friend Davis." She said.

Everyone looked with happiness and satisfaction to know that Yolei and Davis were becoming close.

"So Kari, did you have a reason to come here?" T.K asked.

"Yeah I do have a reason of consider it a reason, I don't know how to explain it but I consider it a personal gain, you understand right?" Kari asked.

"Yeah we do." Cody replied. "I guess some reasons are too hard to explain."

The digidestined looked at a clock that was hoisted at the recreation area that was counting down.

68 hours 22 minutes 50 seconds.

Back at Earth:

"We are coming to you live at the streets of Odaiba where there is a strange phenomenon that is happening in the sky above us." A news reporter said.

Ever since the incident with the sky turning transparent purple the news have been swarming like flies at different places across the globe. Plenty of News stations were everywhere: Sky News, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, it was all over the place.

Tai and Sora were watching the News together while everyone else was still outside.

"You okay?" Tai asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Sora said." How do you think the others are doing?"

"I think the others are doing just fine." Tai replied. "Sure they have never tackled anything on this scale but neither have we so we both should be prepared for anything, we gotta have faith."

"So what do you think about this strange phenomenon?" The news reporter asked.

"Well it is something it is pretty beautiful." A familiar voice replied. "It kind of reminds me of what happened three years ago."

"Is that Matt?" Sora asked.

"Yeah it is!" Tai exclaimed. "Look! It's the others too!"

Outside Tai's apartment:

It looked like the Earth just stood still, everybody was looking well the majority of people were looking up. Matt was being interviewed by a news reporter while the rest of the Digidestined were talking to each other.

"So Joe I see you still haven't let go." Izzy began.

Joe looked confused not knowing what in the world what he was talking about.

"What are you talking about, Izzy?" Joe asked.

"Joe you know who I am talking about Mimi." Izzy replied.

"What about Mimi?"

"You still like her Joe."

Joe was trying to avoid the question, because he was too embarrassed to answer.

"Come on Joe, it is pretty obvious that you still have feelings for her even Ken noticed."

Ken then came over because he heard his name.

"What happened about me?' Ken asked.

"It's nothing Ken, it involves something with Joe." Izzy replied.

"So it must involve Mimi too."" Ken replied.

"Even Ken knows."

"So yeah maybe I still have feelings for Mimi." Joe began. "However it is just too late, I mean come on she lives on the other side of the world for God sakes."

"So what does that have to do with anything?" Izzy replied. "If you really do care about her distance shouldn't be a factor."

"Yeah I agree, I mean do you really care about Mimi and I mean really care?" Ken asked.

"Yeah I mean…. I don't know it is like it something so puzzling that I don't even know." Joe replied.

"I think you do care for her, but much more than before." Izzy said.

"You mean as in Love?"

"Yeah that could be it, I mean I remember before you had a crush on her but that's all it was a crush. However when she moved to New York you began to worry about Mimi even more, while she was vacationing in Alaska at her other house and when that earthquake hit you heart seemed to spike I remember how you was asking me about Mimi on IM."

"You love Mimi." Izzy finished.

Joe was just so shaken by this, his heart yearns for Mimi and he knows that everybody knows that. The thing that really matter though is will he ever tell her, and more importantly does he have time to tell her?
